Marco is 5 months old!

Where did the time go? It seems like ages ago when he was waking up every 2 hours. Oh wait, that was just a few weeks ago! lol Seriously though, the hardest part about having a baby are those first few months when there is no routine, no schedule, no sleep! He's been sleeping through the night for the past few weeks thankfully. He is eating like a champ too. He eats 3 meals a day of 3 tbsp of cereal, 3 oz of milk, and 1 stage 1 serving of fruit or veggie. He still nurses every 3-4 hours too. He is getting really good at grabbing things, esp. my hair! He's still learning to put his binky in his mouth, but he's getting there. We had to buy him a new exersaucer for Christmas to keep him occupied. He still has bad cradle cap though and it's spread to his face. He has redness on his face a lot when it flares up. Hopefully it gets under control soon. We've tried combing it out of his scalp, head and shoulders, oils, etc. For his face, we wound up having to use hydrocortisone cream as per his pediatrician. We try to only use it when it's really, really bad.

He can sit up with support. He's been doing that for over a month. He's not quite at the stage where he can sit up by himself. I'll try to take pics of him this week and see if he can grab onto a shallow basket or plate. He grabs his toes and almost puts them in his mouth. And I did see two pearl dots in his upper gum (left side) so I think a tooth is developing!
